@Tcb007, it depends on how deep the drill holes are as to whether "6 holes can be completed in 7 days". A typical RC drilling rate is 200 m per day. One hole per day in maiden drilling program is quite normal. Remember, we're not talking core drilling here. Furthermore, satellite images don't lie, although they can be misinterpreted at times. That's why I post them; so everyone can see with their own eyes.
Additionally,
@Tcb007, you're saying that portable XRF doesn't apply to lithium.
@Freddieflintoff has presented an article showing that it does/can. And that it has at Greenbushes. Portable XRF isn't used for JORC results, but it's used for real time analysis to inform the drilling. But you still insist that it's not used! However, you're quoting information from a medical science source that wouldn't appear to be relevant to mining!!
For interest, real time analysis is now also being trialed/investigated for
geochemical soil sampling in gold mining and it's done for the same reason - informing the sampling program as it unfolds.
I hope this answers your questions.
